Nuh, not down here mate – in part that’s because people who come to Australia are real migrants, they’re committed to making a new life for their families here. Whereas those East Europeans who went to Britain never intended becoming British, they were just a source of cheap labour that fed the cycle of greed.

Perhaps its because our economy is still growing, albeit slowly; and that’s because we produce real stuff that real people need – like food, energy and education, rather than ephemeral stuff like hedge funds, sub prime mortgages and shadow banks.

Stop projecting Britain’s malaise on the rest of the planet and get over the fact that your empire is gone, long gone.

My Polish relatives came on holiday to London this summer and I asked a similar question to my cousin who confirmed ‘Yes they are leaving England and going home to Poland …… to collect their families (!)’

This had been evident over the last year and backed by statistics, but xenophobic people choose to see anyone who does not look like them as an illegal person. To our detriment, because immigrates are needed to help the economy grow.

To call the people here immigrants confuses the issue. There is little immigration, but quite a bit of settlement activity. The migrants do not come to learn from the host society and integrate and add to the society, but to earn more money than in their country of origin and create their own communities here. Despite positive statements about immigration, the reason for the dislike of settlement, is that the most uneducated settlers do not improve the economic condition of the average in the destination country. It does not benefit the average Austria or American that someone comes to work for less than an Austrian or American, as this drives the average wage down. The only advantage I see to low skill immigration is that it encourages labor competition. Add to this the disrespect shown to host countries and the unsustainable reproduction patterns of settlers, the general opinion is against this.

The settlement of European countries by non-Europeans is what is occurring. Polish temporary migration to England is unrelated to the Mexican settlement of the US, Turkish settlement of Central Europe, Arabic settlement of Western Europe, or Pakistani settlement of England.

Last Christmas, we drove from Mexico to Texas. There were thousands of Mexican people lining the highway, begging for money, trying to make it home. It was one of the saddest things I’ve ever seen in my life.

In Canada, we don’t really have a migrant population, but a robust immigrant population. Nobody is going anywhere here. Mind you, we haven’t been hit as hard by the downturn, but that advantage is quickly wearing thin as more and more business and/or industries are affected by our neighbour’s inability to recover.

We have seen a significant drop in immigrants here in Colorado, my wife’s cleaning service has been picking up lately due to the fact that most of the house and office cleaners have went back to Mexico, so in a strange way this has been a boon to us. She had to hire another person to help her out,and she even has talked to me about giving up my job and help her out.

The Republican lawmaker who shouted “you lie” doesn’t sound uncivilized to my ears which are impervious to these kind of simple words because in our Indian Parliament and State legislatures what we hear on a daily basis are the words not found in any dictionary. The republican senator’s was an outburst of his anger; there is nothing wrong in it in my opinion and at the end he has sent an apology to the President.
